Sebastien,

You would have to order the clubs through golf town or a authorized retailer, can't order direct through Titleist.

As for bending the clubs.  You should have to bend them only 1* one strong to make up the difference. No?  The bounce will be changed slightly but not that big of a deal.

Make sure the shafts match and your set!

Here are the loft of my AP1.

Here are the loft of AP2

To follow a 4° between each club, i have to bend 2°....

I think the real question here is "have you hit a full set of the AP2's?"  You may just want to consider upgrading to all AP2's and move up one club, ie: instead of a PW, hit a 9 and so on.  There would definately  be a 'feel' difference between the two because one is forged carbon and the other is stainless steel, but then again, I don't know your game and the higher you progress toward the 3 iron the harder they may be to hit but you presently have stronger lofts so the forged mid and upper irons of the AP2's shouldn't be an issue.

You're asking for the maximum bend for a forged club made from carbon steel and the AP1's are stainless steel, perhaps even investment cast,  which allows for more degrees of a bending tolerance, up to 4* I believe.  Again, at 2*, you'd be taking the AP2 forged club to its maximum.

Perhaps more information regarding your game (strengths and weakness), handicap, ball flight, etc. are needed or better yet, book an appointment with a Titleist fitter to see if your game warrants a possible upgrade to a forged club, which I believe it just may. 

You will find that should you then decide to go to the forged AP2's, any bending will most likely be performed on the 'lie' portion of the club, not the 'loft'.  The "Lie" of the club is where the money should be spent IMHO.

There is a video in the Titleist Golf Club Blog where they discuss all the 712 series irons from the AP1 to the MB and show you the differences in the 712 series progression between all the sets, from forgiveness to workability and MOI to CG and how their differences throughout the 712 line are designed for certain levels of golfers.  It may help, as I found, that they use a Tungsten weight in the AP1's where you will find, if you purchase the AP2's, that the tungsten weighting will not be present and then what.  The more information you have with the more research available and that you can easily obtain from this site, can only aide you in the decision making progress and thereby feel comfortable in making your choice the right one.

Here is where I am coming from....

I started playing 19 years ago when I was 13.

Started with some wilson blades on aluminum shaft (gift from my grand dad)

Switch to tommy armour 845 for couple years (7-9 handicap - my best years).

Stop playing actively for 9-10 year (16-18+ handicap)

Tried some other irons for 1 season, but hate them; my golf was very bad for those irons at that time

Then I started playing actively again 2 years ago, bought ap1 (i am now 12 handicap and improving)

I hit iron 9(AP1) @ 150Y 

I hit very high shots on all my irons .

I am a digger type for wedge.

I wanted a combo set because I don't shape my shots and I believe AP1 for long irons would make my score better.

I really prefer the feel of AP2, but can sacrifice for forgiveness on longer irons.

With a profile like that, especially with the potential of reclaiming your single digit handicap again, I would strongly suggest that you visit a Titleist club fitter and even go so far as possibly considering the CB's with a stiffer flex now.  You've obviously outgrown the AP1 and possibly the AP2 series as well in the 712 line.  Perhaps just going to a screen at GolfTown or a Demo Day and trying all the 712 series to see how they perform for you.

Slimmer soles in the CB will aide in giving you a more boring ball flight trajectory, which is desired by the better player, because now you're not sacrificing the ball to the elements,  you'll gain control over the "wind element" for sure, which will help you score better.

The perimeter weighting of the CB irons will still maintain a large degree of  forgiveness and still aide in an off-center-struck shot. 

The stiffer shaft may take away some of your length, which you can easily afford (9 iron @ 150 yards), but more stiffness will give you much more accuracy, again aiding in better scores.

Did you get a chance to see the video on the blog as mentioned earlier?

I guess I'll schedule a fitting session...  

Is golf town good enough? or should wait for an 'Advance Fitting Center' to open? (Allt of them are close until May)

In terms of shaft, are the stock shaft good enough, I heard good thing of the KBS, but have to admit, I am totally lost by the huge selection available...

(I am asking here, because I don't want golf town salesman telling me bullshit)

Hi Sebastien,

A Golf Town fitting expert can most definitely assist you.  However, it may be ideal for you to visit one of our regional fitters who is equipped with our full range of club fitting tools.  You Team Titleist Profile does not show your location so we're unable to suggest one to you.  If you let us know your approximate location, we'd be happy to recommend a location.
